"The Obsidian Desert isn't backed by any Holy Lands or Large Countries, so they aren't as fortunate as we are. At the very least, we have Athen's Champion on our side, and behind Athen's Champion is the entirety of Mount Olympus. The Obsidian Desert, however, has nothing," Alice explained, her expression grave.
"Hmm..." Souta glanced down at Yuko, who was resting her head in his arms. He then asked, "What's the Dragon Council's response?"
"They've said that it's too risky to engage there, but they've helped the people of the Obsidian Desert," Alice replied.
Souta glanced at Alice and asked, "Do you want me to go?"
"No, I don't want you to go. Who knows if someone might target you again?" Alice shook her head.
"Yeah, I'm concerned about that too. And Athen's Champion is still observing me, which is why they haven't assigned me to any missions, even though there's a large-scale war happening in different places."
